Only PSP games downloaded off the PSP Store. There is not UMD drive in the PSV.

That irritates me a little but the lack of a umd drive is probably for the best.
The 249.99 is pretty amazing (it was good for the psp but now it is phenomenal for the Vita.
I think the Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep not being on the PS Store had something to do with Disney not wanting their games to be downloadable or some crap. I remember reading that somewhere. I really wanna get that game on the PS Store so I can also play it on PS Vita.
[QUOTE="BlackestNightX"]i hope rayman origins comes for the vita.ale_gamr
That's not gonna happen. That's gonna be on a Nintendo console.
Well it's already coming to PS3, and XBOX360. Which I think is a good thing.great news for the PS fans! :) Vita ftw.SoAmazingBabyWait, isn't it bad news? You'd have to re-buy PSP games if you wanted to play them on the new system.
[QUOTE="SoAmazingBaby"]great news for the PS fans! :) Vita ftw.Englando_IVWait, isn't it bad news? You'd have to re-buy PSP games if you wanted to play them on the new system. Play the games you have on UMD on your PSP, buy/keep playing any digital PSP games on your Vita. That's the best you can get, unless you will be willing to re-buy all your UMD games off the PSN-Store.

lol Disney is always a problem. They have to make things harder more than in needs to be. They are missing out on a lot of sales by not puting it on the PSN store. I remember Square Enix saying that they are trying to get it on the PSN store but it might take a while. I have Birth by Sleep on UMD but I no longer have a PSP to play it on, and I don't want to buy a new PSP. I don't mind re-buying some games on the PSN store.
one extremely importamt question:
i already have psp games in ISO format in my computer. if i have a VITA, can i put it in and play the psp game with the vita console? pls dont mention anything about UMD. i dont hav 1.
YOU EVIL THIEF, YOU NEVER DESERVED ANY OF THOSE GAMES, OR A PSP!!! :evil: And no, the the Vita won't run those. I'm pretty sure Sony will copy Nintendo and brick any hacked Vita.one extremely importamt question:

[QUOTE="tjoeb123"]Now they just need to pull ALL PSP games onto the PSN and actuallly have a way of registering our UMDs to our PSN accounts.so_haiYeah but you wouldn't be allowed to keep both the UMD and a digital copy. You'd have to 'send them in' or something. It wouldn't matter as long as I could play digital copies of them. Especially the Star Ocean games since my copies are greatly damaged...

If you just could copy your UMD what is stopping you from going to Gamestop, buying a games used, copying it to your system used, and then just returning the UMD for a full re-fund? Or splitting the bill on a new title 4 ways and just having everyone in the group save the game to thier memory stick?

That's why I believe you'll be stuck with UMDs no matter what. It happens to most systems this way anyhow. Bit of a bummer that it is...Maybe the games can only be downloaded like someone mentioned. Sony could make more money if they have the games sold seperately.
Yea listen it sucks but cmon guys...the UMD drive was awful. Now we get our games on memory sticks which is cool and since I had a PSP GO I get to re-download all my Go games to that. Cant wait.

Yeah, the UMD was bad. They get damaged to easily. I don't mind re-buying my PSP games on the PSN store.

Im just going to keep my 3000.They'll likely add more PSP games up into the PSN once the Vita comes out.
I'm sure the old devs won't turn their backs for an extra oppurtunity to make extra pocket change.
I'm a collector, so I enjoy having the physical copies of the games. It's a shame that they can't come up with a way to transfer your physical media to digital format. Especially when it comes to games that were never released on PSN to begin with.Mau-JusticeThat's how it is in the mobile market this way. I know it's not a mobile and more like a handheld but they share the same features. The handheld is more advanced with performance. Though handheld and mobile both mean the same.
